The House Ethics Committee announced on Dec. 30 that it will close its investigations of four congressmen’s use of campaign funds.

The Office of Congressional Ethics (OCE) had referred Reps. Sanford Bishop (D-Ga.), Wesley Hunt (R-Texas), Ronny Jackson (R-Texas), and Alex Mooney (R-W.Va.) to the committee for further investigation after finding reason to believe the lawmakers may have converted campaign funds for personal use.
